Boutique Bungalows Mission Beach

We left Cairns and got the evening bus through to Mission Beach, it was only a shortish bus journey of 2 hours, we arrived at the Casowary at Mission Beach and had to find our hostel, luckily, it was only 200metres away. We went and checked in to the hostel, although due to someone losing our key and the info about our room, we ended up in the wrong room, it worked out cheaper though and everyone seemed nice so there was no big issue.

Day 260-267 Mission Beach Mon 17th – Mon 24th Aug 2009

With our computer problem sorted we drove as quickly as we could to Mission Beach determined to get a powered site at the Council Park on the beach for a reported $18 per night per family.

Hopefully we see some Cassowrys - thats our mission at mission beach - he he he.

Heading back down the coast and fingers crossed that the weather improves before we end this magical holiday!

... walk down the beach for a quick photo since I forgot to take Palm Cove.... which would have been much more scenic. Later in the day all the boys went for a walk to a park to calm Denzel down and get him away from me so I could do the clothes folding and get dinner ready without having to hold him the entire time or put up with him screaming... yes he does know how to misbehave and isn't always a smiling cutie.

... South Africa which sounded awesome. We managed to get an hours sunbathing in which was nice but then the clouds came back all too soon. In the afternoon Than and Aline arrived which was nice. We got the shuttle into town to stock up on food. I got 2 sausages for 70 cents (so thats 35p!) I was very impressed!! Had sausages and mash for dinner which was so good!! Ive not had mash for so long!! Did mine and Becky's ususal trick of making ...

... of you think I'm kidding. Ask Brones. 3 days ago I hopped on the Greyhound bus for my first leg of a 4,000 plus km journey from Cairns to Melbourne. Thankfully this leg was only 3 hours. But in the next week I'll be on a 9 hour trip to the Whitsundays (thanks to not breaking up the journey in Magnetic Island) and then a 13 hour overnighter to Fraser Island from there. I think my **** will be like a building block by the time I'm finished for the ...

... and a long sleeved shirt and Jayne also covering up. Again however we were forced back when the vicious mozzies started biting Jayne through her thin top. [We subsequently heard on the news that 600 people in Cairns had caught Dengue Fever from mozzie bites.] No cassowaries were therefore seen although we did come across a large groups of wallabies which took us by surprise on the hillside opposite the supermarket.
